About the adventure
In the 80s Poland was given the privledge of running The Loop Facilities for the socialist world. Now in the 90s it turns out that most of those technologies are dangerous. Robots get robo-cancer, which can spread to humans, other machines go mad and aggressive, the old floating magnetite structures, stopped working and fell onto the ground, while people who used to work at The Loop, are also getting mental issues, often called "Loop Madness" or "Loop Fever". You and your friends are teenagers in the 90s. You watch as the old promissed futuristic technology of the 80s, of robots, machines and such, is fading away and is being replaced by tech known from the 2000s. While that happens, the world is also being attacked by unnatural flooding events of different kinds, including your town. Most of them happen around the old and locked down Loop facilities. Your country is no longer socialist. Recently you became part of the free world, so the investigation on your town and your Loop Facility is done by a private organization named "White Guard", which essentially occupy the city now, taking authority equal, if not greater than the police. In this place you're growing up. Surrounded by the creepy old malfunctioning machines from the 80s. Conspiracy theories being spoken in hushed tones, sometimes backed by recent events and slowly creeping in new technology, which replaces the old... You're just trying to have fun, learn about the world and your own self in all of this. Will you learn the secrets of the flood?

About me
I enjoy hosting and narrating games. Love worldbuilding and allowing others to enter a world I made and forge their story in it... I invite both chaos and order in there, as long as everyone is having fun and getting something valuable from the whole experience. I believe in player agency and the idea that derailing stories is not an issue, but a challenge. The world should be open for players to explore and I like hosting systems that facilitate that.
